Thanks, I will download the up-to-date chart.

More snow spreading into Scandinavia and only a very small of part is free of snow.

I have a feeling that when we will get snow it will be when it will be when it is most unexpected.  Then chaos will happen like it did in February 2009 when after a time of heavy rain the weather in January.  The first new of colder weather was three or four days before the snow landed in the UK but was only forecasted for colder weather coming from the continent and a day later did the weather forecast say anything about the possibility of snow. If the weather can change so quickly from mild to very cold over a short period of time, it can happen again.

This morning in South Ockendon, there was patch mist which quickly cleared up.  There is very weak sunshine with partly cloudy skies.  There has been four frosty days so far in Thurrock.

Yes, I would rather have two days of heavy snowfall than no snow at all.  I find in winter that weather forecasts changed in a period of two or three days and some times in the matter of hours.  What my worry is that local authorities will be caught out as they will be not be prepared for any sudden change from mild to very cold weather with snow or very heavy frost. Even if the forecast says snow will becoming, it will be difficult to know if it will only be a light snow fall or a heavy fall until it happens.

The ice has increased a little bit more since the last snow and ice chart

I hope that the snow will continue spreading throughout the whole of Europe.

Thank you Snow Queen for the warm welcome.  It has been a wet and miserable day with temperatures of 10 Celsius.  The rest of the week is forecasted to be overcast with no signs of cold weather yet.

Please can I have number, thank you.  I would love to see some very frosty days and nights and if we have snow I would like it be heavy and falling for several hours.  It seems like ages since snow has fallen in Thurrock.

Thank you for the very warm welcome.  I hope that the snowless situation over Europe will change but it could take until late February before we see any real change in Europe.
